At first, there vas no market or very little, in all that country, for hem lock bark. The tanneries by which New York was mainly supplied, were located in Greene and Scholutrie counties, and had pot yet exhausted the! tertapries by Which] they were respectively fed Some twenty years ago, bark began'te fail them, am-lA:tidy one by one they were ;forced to emigrate. They came over into the district tributary to the,Erie Railway, some in New York and others in Pennsylvania. Here they establi,lred 'tanneries of altogetherunprece:- dented magnitude, and have al ready.slaugh tered most of the hemlock in their reach. S . ( ) rile of these tannerieS have now nomore than a two years supp)e of bark at com mand; searcely . one of illiem a sup) ly reach ing beyond 'peven or eight years of full busi iaess Latterly in thdse counties the bark has become of more value than the timber, though 11(11116cl; saweil stuff has grown as high as Sixteen dollars! a thousand at Pbil- adelphia and New York. Hemlock lands,' as a matter of course, have rapidly incre:is ed in price, and many' extraordinary specu lations have been made. i. - 0 1 ', It becomes a question of importance. to determine where thee tanneries will locate [when forced again to emigrate.

At various times experiments have been Made to contenpate tannin, so as to lessen the cost of transportation; the idea being to carry 'the tannin to the. hales, rather than the bides to the tannin. - A good deal of concentrated tannin, brought from India, is used in England; but in this country no marked success has attended these efforts. Unless further trials . Shall lead to improved , processes, the hides will continue to be sent to the hemlock forestS, the cost. of transpor tation both ways Leng added to the cost of leather in the great markets. . 1 Same speculation , has been excited at, different ptriods, in!

R. verily Johnson voted to pass the bill over the veto. In view of the fact that nobody . pretends eo pay any sort of respect to president Johnson's ve toes in beg: fof tr:Aitori, might he not as well, one of these days, begin !to consider the propriety of dining something on the side of Right, just. for the •nove;ty of the thing if for no better reason ?

Austria's new Ohne minister Von Beust is the author of these reforms, and in grant. ing, them he‘es:tablishes his reputation for . w The Pensr I van ia Jegisla I are has passed one resolution that will generally ap• pmved. It h::4 agreed to adjourn finally of the I.Arril. I Whishey and Schools. 'We have heard much said about the disappearance of great men from the Stage of public affairs, and doubtless it is true in so far as it is a fact that great meta die in well as little ones But no man can peruse the debates in the Pennsylvania Legisla ture and retain very serious forebodings of the extinction of the race of great men. Having a leirure hour the other day, we took up the official orgy of' that - body and '1 read a speech delivered ty Mr. G. 0. Deise, the member for Clititin, - Cameron, Elk. and McKean counties. The debate was upon a bill to, amend tl e School law, and especially upon an mum dment prohibiting the employment of teac tere of intemperate habits. We Shall admi that Mr. Deise is a man of good intellect el abilities, father above the average of central Pennsylvania politicians. Indeed after !eating nis speech against sobriety, for that is what it amount ed to, we wee very pearly ready to admit that he is a s ecimen of budding greatness. Mr. Deise eetns to have been called out by some remarks of Mr. Mann, of Potter County, wholadvocated sobriety as a prime 'requisite to n good teacher Mr: Deise chose to discover in the amendment an at tempt to legislate against the interests of ' the people,And he opposed it with much zeal if not with discretion. Whether it be true, as Mr. Deise with an originality re ' znarkably striking, declared, that the: more you touch the whiskey question the more people will drink,.or not, we leave the pub lic to decide; but whoa Mr. D. declares in a speech before the representatives of the Commonwealth, that in Potter !county "they have female teachers etnolOyed to ferret out who: drinks 'whiskey, and are sometimes obliged to kiss you to tell how your breath siells,''—we opine that he copies the unMitigated blackguardistn of the journals of his party. Potter county needs no defenee at our hands. Her peo 'ple areas faMous for their intelligence as fbr their virtue. Her female teachers are entitled to common respect, at least, and Mr. .o.'s remarks are an insult to petem, if they are DI any worth •or s'gnification whatever. We agree with Mr Mann, that a man, or woman, who takes a glass of liquor ta: ,a beverage. is not fit to teach school. To • this Mr. D. took exception, and propound ed this' poser. "Where would the gentlt;-- man put Daniel We.hsteri" He not fit to teach School'," Mr. Mann's reply to this pia not recorded; but we reply that we put Daniel Webster among the 'list of brilliant men who fill drunkard's graves; and l fur thermore say, that our opinion, he was no more' fit to teach school than he %•11,1 to lecture oa temperance and the ble,sings of a virtuous life He was a licentious, in temperate man; and his example is one *hie!' ought to be covered up away from public g;; e. Great intellectual gifts, un less coupled with a superior Moral nature, are a curse to any man, :and a disgrace to' the annals of a people. Mr.' Dose, like many another public min, has much pride of intellect. We can tell him of a better, because. diviner pride, pride of character. Without this pride, without moral impul ses exceeding all other impulses, no man, or woman, is fit to teach school. (heat men do not .find congenial labor in the school room. They fail to comprehend the nature of human growth as it relates to the development of the individual.. They comprehend the nature of nationalgrowth, or the growth of man in the aggregate. We now refer to• the grwit men as they ex- ist in popular estimation. With that other and strikingly original remark of Mr. Deise—that the first miracle nerformed upon earth was the manufacture of wine from water, we will deal briefly. the first place it was not the first -miracle done on earth. The Old Testament is full of accounts of miracles performed by the Judaic leaders, priests, and prophets. And not only this, but Christ performed many miracles prior to that ofthe Cana Marriage least. However the 'citation is new for this age . We recollect something Of the sort having been used twenty yearga :go to check the progress of temperance reform. Mr. Deise'resides in Clinton county, where a maim who can write his namepeadahly-is suspected at once of designs up - tcn the sta bles. as well as upon the integrity, of the dominant party there. Much must be for given the gentleman on that account. But we doubt if there is a dealer in poor whis key in Tioga county, so fat behind the age as to advocate liquor sellingon the strength of the example of Jesus Christ. Mr. Mann is entitled to public gratitude for his unwearied • efforts to Mitigate the evil of the liquor traffic. Verily he bath his eeward—Erioga Agitator. The confiscation bill, which Mr. Stevens will endeavor to force through Congress, contains nine sections. We 'shall briefly notice them.-- , -The first clause provides for a general forfeitUre of all public lands in the excluded States, the second clause for the seizure of Property deemed forfeited under the act ofJuly : 176;1862, the third clause for the appointment of a commission to condemn property, the fourth for the dis tribution of lands to emancipated negraes, the fifth for the "erection of buildings on the said homesteads for the use of said blacks,' ,the sixth providing whlse proper ty sled 'be exempt from confiscation ,• the several!, eight and ninth provide for the redemption of property, and for little de r tails of execution.
